The last days I have been looking at what could be done with the
original nettles. In the end it was quite simple to get them working as
a library object and create a suitable help-patch. Both are checked in
in svn, but the original cyclone build system will not build the
library. Katja created a new makefile system as a drop-in replacement
for the Pd-extended build system, which will be checked in soon.
I will try to create new binary distributions, usable with the
deken-plugin somewhere next week. These will contain the nettles. I try
to keep the current state of cyclone here:
http://puredata.info/downloads/cyclone/releases/0.1-alpha55 (never mind
the 55, it wouldn't go away).
Any object or abstraction that implements something present in Max(5)
could be part of cyclone.
